100 Children’s Books to Read in a Lifetime

If you have ever been on Facebook, you have probably seen posts like, ‘Which Harry Potter Character Are You?’, ‘Which Classic Arcade Game Are You?’, and ‘What Is Your Soulmate’s Zodiac Sign?’. 98.8% of the time I totally ignore these kind of posts from Zimbio or List Challenges.

However, I saw one list challenge that I couldn’t resist. It’s not surprising to me that the .2% exception for me would have to do with children’s books. So, for a little end of summer fun, here is the link for Amazon’s 100 Children’s Books to Read in a Lifetime. These were voted on by members of GoodReads.

I took the challenge and found that I had read 76 out of 100. Not too shabby. At the beginning of the list challenge, it says that the average is 38 out of 100.

Favorite Reads on the List

I was pleased to see that Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time was #1 on the list. I have read this several times, and enjoyed the audiobook read by the author herself as well.

I made it to 81/100, being honest that occasionally reading snippets of The Lightening Thief and Wonder of my daughter’s shoulder (and thinking, “I should find time to read that”) doesn’t count as really reading the book.
